This has turned from a positive to a negative thing in a matter of mins. Because your name isnt on my list your upset and bashing my post?? I dont get how anyone whose name i didnt name can get mad when i never see or get advise from you?

Sorry to all those who are offended but clearly this isnt the post for you. You dont care But you took the time out of your day to not only read but make a mean comment thats exactly why your name isnt on here. We are all free to post whatever we want if you dont like a post keep it pushing. Your negativity is not welcomed on this post.

Its amazing to me how much negative attention my non hair related post gets when there are dozens of post out there in serious need of tips and advice that doesn't even get viewed.

Sorry you can't see how a thread like this has potential to go awry--even without "negative" commentary.

I am SERIOUSLY fighting the urge to slip into grammar nazi mode.

If i am taking what you wrote abt the grammar out of context i apologize in advance.

I'm sure it wasn't personal, D-N; people were just trying to avoid a situation that may have caused problems in the past. "Favorite posters" threads often turn into popularity contests, and many of us want to avoid that possibility.

Some of us are on the wry side, and may have unintentionally sounded unkind. I'm sure there's no sour grapes.

OK, I admit it.....I'm an alias! I wasn't born with the name Honeycurls!Dood, get over it; there's no time limit on lurking.

I so busy runnin' allllllll over the place and ain't nobody chasin' me!

Sometimes it's impossible to know when you'll walk into a hornet's nest on this site. I think we've all done it (and if that's too general, I'll go ahead and clarify: heaven knows I've done it). The "peeing in the pool" debacle comes to mind, as does "Uncrustables."

We're a touchy bunch, sometimes.

Ok wait so the OP deleted her post to avoid conflict and the thread still went berzerk?

Besides, just because the OP deletes the OP doesn't mean that the thread is just going to suddenly die...the tangential conversations often continue for a fashion and eventually just trail off. It's normal.
